Mid year Corvette BOOM.
I was in one of Hassett's 427 midyear cars at high top speed and I noticed it getting a little light feeling in the front end - not really bad just uneasy feeling.
Then I watched this and went "wow" that is exactly what I was afraid of happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpTj3I9ZrE8

Yuck... That one should have had a wheelie bar. It looks like it would have prevented that. Hope he's alright. Quite a hit coming straight down and exploding.

Holy crap!! I can't imagine driving the car and all of a sudden looking up at the sky one second then down at the track! It's good to hear that he survived. That's scary!!

That was actually a very nice car built by him and his father. Was at the SEMA show. They had owned it for a long time. Car was doing almost 160 MPH in the 1/8 mile. They were working on getting the car dialed in and probably making power in the 1700 1800 horsepower range.

As much as I love those cars the lift created by the nose shape has always been a concern when very high MPH’s are being attained.
